More robust updated version on GitHub. Also:

BTW: my emacs config shows how to trick emacs `format-all` into using it instead of regular `fourmolu` (changes Emacs path to first look in `~/.emacs.d/bin` where a `fourmolu-cpp` executable is placed named `fourmolu`.

I think Cursor AI IDE does not like Windows 11 and has taken measures to correct this and ensure this does not happen again. I wouldn't challenge it further, because next time it may well decide that stronger measures are required.

I have deprecated the umbrella project `haskell-opentimestamps-project` (the library and client arare now standalone projects). You can now build an executable with `make build` in the cloned client repository.

You must be using it wrong. As a developer with over 35 years of experience, and only using the free tier of a command-line AI agent, I can tell you it's a truly invaluable *tool* ! Just don't use it with a "woolly" dynamically typed language and give it clearly confined instructions.
